A member asked:

If you have a rapid heart rate for many hours, can you actually feel a sore heart?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not exactly: Not like a sore thumb! but if you have coronary artery disease, it's conceivable that rapid heart rate could precipitate angina - usually not described as being sore but as feeling heavy and associated with difficulty breathing. The real question is: why is your heart rate "rapid for many hours? " you should be checked out.
